This wine continues to be a favorite. Great with vegetables and blue cheese with artichoke and spinach. Fruit forward with nice acid balance and a medium finish

Just shared two bottles of 2005 Domaine LaFage Cote Sud with friends and even though all reviews say this wine is over the hill, our recent tasting would say different. This wine shows silky, but prominent tannins, is fruit forward, color is still deep purple. It has a fruity nose with a medium long finish. I do believe that the man made cork has helped the longevity of this wine. I would give this wine an 88-90 rating. Great with stinky cheeses. It was a nice surprise.

Cleaning out G's kitchen cellar to restock with whites, saw this random red in there. Disappointing. This was best when I bought it, and seems to have slid since then. Decent nose, perhaps a bit candied. On the palate, the fruit is fading big time, alcohol and light tannins are not. Finish on the short side. RP says drink by 2012. I'd be inclined to drink now. Ok for an $11 bottle of wine, but merely a shadow of its former self.

Blumig und kräutrig in der Nase, leicht und geschmeidig am Gaumen.
